The cloud droplet number concentration (N d) is of central interest to improve the
understanding of cloud physics and for quantifying the effective radiative forcing by aerosol …

The Mediterranean region is a unique area characterized by a large spectrum of
atmospheric phenomena, some of which have a high impact on many aspects of human …

The impact of aerosols on cloud properties is one of the largest uncertainties in the
anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate. Significant progress has been made in …

Aerosol–cloud interaction (ACI) is complex and difficult to be well represented in current
climate models. Progress on understanding ACI processes, such as the influence of …

In a companion article, we introduced a new lidar method to derive microphysical properties
of liquid-water clouds (cloud extinction coefficient, droplet effective radius, liquid-water …

We present and evaluate a climatology of cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC)
based on 13 years of Aqua-MODIS observations. The climatology provides monthly mean …

Aerosol‐cloud interactions (ACI) represent a significant source of forcing uncertainty in
global climate models (GCMs). Estimates of radiative forcing due to ACI in Fifth Assessment …

An analysis of the Cloudnet data set collected at Leipzig, Germany, with special focus on
mixed-phase layered clouds is presented. We derive liquid-and ice-water content together …

The HD (CP) 2 Observational Prototype Experiment (HOPE) was performed as a major 2-
month field experiment in Jülich, Germany, in April and May 2013, followed by a smaller …

The impact of aerosol number concentration on cloud albedo is a persistent source of
spread in global climate predictions due to multi-scale, interactive atmospheric processes …
